Workplaces and schools make accommodations for people with disabilities so that we can reach the same level of achievement as anyone else. When you're doing NaNo, you're the one in charge, so it's up to you to make those accommodations for yourself.

What makes an original work original isn't that it exists in a vacuum, because no work exists in a vacuum. It's that you layer originality in with the elements that respond to the canon, the genre, and the world.
